[Q] How do i turn off/disable CRT animations? - Verizon Droid Charge

How do i turn off/disable CRT animations? I'm running Tweaked 2.0 with FP1 PBJ kernel.

the usual turning off animations doesn't work for me I just tested that out sorry i couldn't help

It requires de/recompiling - there's a value that needs switching in framework-res.apk/res/values/bools.xml whose name I can't remember off the top of my head, though that may be enough to have Google lead you the rest of the way.

Thanks dwitherell. Btw i LOVE your rom

Just curious why someone wouldn't want the CRT on/off? I absolutely LOVE it and for the few minutes while I'm on stock in between roms I can't stand the screen just appearing/disappearing. It's the little extra things in life like CRT animations that make me

The CRT on animation just looks weird to me. I've gotten used to it, but it still doesn't look right. The CRT off is only something I notice if I'm looking for it. I don't miss it if it's not there, and in reality, I'm not even looking at my screen 75% of the time I lock it.

I've found that it's better if you slow it down some, but yes, it does go too fast to make it more than just a bragging feature really.

[REQUEST] autorotate animation

I don't know if thus is the right place to post this. So mods have at it and move if needed. Would it be possible to have an app that'll animate the screen during use of the autorotate feature? Obviously I have no clue on how to code

What are you trying to animate?
Are you thinking of something like the animation in an iPhone when you rotate?

Think "rotating an iPhone", he wants that fancy flip the entire screen effect present on Apple products. I love it so much, Steve may be mean - but Apple has perfect graphic and visual designers.
+1 it's extremely well polished. Granted it's not the instantaneous rotation that Android provides but it sure looks nice!
+1
Shouldn't this be in development?
i happened to find in the market an alternate spare parts app that has a selection for rotate animations in it, just an fyi

Do you mean an alternate version of Spare Parts or an application like Spare Parts? If it's an application like Spare Parts, mind giving us the name?
[EDIT] Oh wait I've found it. The market version of Spare Parts. I don't seem to see any difference when enabling the fancy rotation though.
I am blind as well

I actually thought there would be an animation a long time ago. Anyone remember the G1 zooming cube animation?
There was an animation back on 1.5 however within the source code it was commented out in 1.6 and then deleted all together on 2.1 . I read that it isn't possible to adapt to 2.1 because surface flinger lies on top of open gl. Could any developers get this running again? I'm sure it would be a lot quicker on the nexus one than the magic.
Yeah, that's definitely one of those many little things that make the Nexus look less polished than the iPhone (And don't get me wrong, I hate the iPhone )
+1 to this!
Perhaps something simple like a fading display. Or Have the background rotate first and have the icons and widgets rotate at a slower rate, so it looks like the foreground is trying to "catch up" to the background
I would take anything animated, i hate the fact that when i rotate my screen its just so still!
But i think its better for faster screen rotation.
this much talk and no developers chiming in.. don't think this is going anywhere..
YEAH THIS IS ABOUT AS LIKELY AS GETTING A FRIKKIN FLIP CLOCK THAT FRIKKIN FLIPS... AAHHHH THE OL' JACHERO DAYS! i SEE PHONES HALF AS POWERFUL BY HTC W/ THE CLOCK FRIKKIN FLIPPIN AWAY!
BACK ON TOPIC I TOO WOULD LOVE THIS IN ANY FASHION AS LONG AS THE DELAY (AND IT WILL SLOW THE TRANSITION DOWN) IS MINIMAL! HOWEVER I USE SENSE SO ROTATION IS A WHOLE NOTHER GAME THERE!

GBs Rom screen closing like old tv

I have tried continuum and perception so far. every time the screen goes to sleep it looks like your turning off an old tv.
is this just me? is damaging the screen in anyway(shorter life)?
This is actually featured as part of gingerbread. I know in Cyanogen Mod 7 there is a way to disable it if you don't like it. Not sure about the others though.
Yeah its just an animation. No harm to you or the screen. Press sleep button and ogle at the prettiness
lol
most people got gingerbread just to watch that!
you can go into settings>display>animations and turn off animations
or if you use spare parts if you set animations to fast it wont do the crt one but will play all the others just faster.
I think it makes the phone cooler

[Q] is there a rom that is like commrom for the fascinate?

Like many new charge users im coming from the fascinate. I ran the commrom and loved it. very clean, stable and had lots of goodies. So i was wondering if there was a rom or even better and all in one root/rom/kernal package that was a lot like commrom with most if not all the same goodies like acc battery, 5-6 lock screens just to name a few. also, does everybody elses screen take like 4 secs to turn back on. like after you move your headset away from your head? or is it a possible sensor issue or something? Thanks

There isn't really anything like that yet with all the extra goodies and all that. Kejar (team gummy) are working on getting something like that (multiple lock screens, kernal, rom, root included) in their next release. No, I don't have a problem with the headset sensor.
The closest thing to what you are looking for would be Kejars Odin package. You can find that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116086

thank you. Im still reading a lot of the threats and trying to get up to date on whats going on inthe charge forums. Time has just been very limited lately. I def looki forward to future updates then. Commrom was an excellent rom.
Actually, particularly if you use the Odin file, Gummy already has most of what the Fascinate's UKB has -- accurate battery, a toolbox, starts with the Gingerbread theme and has multiple other theme choices, kernel and recovery (and it's obviously rooted; every custom ROM is).
All it doesn't have yet are multiple lockscreens, but that's coming out in the next version (they've already released screenshots and they're even using some of the TSM lockscreens).
Someone, whose name is slipping my mind right now, is in the process of porting tsm parts to the charge. I think it will be included in gummycharged fe 2.0 but I cannot say for sure.

awesome, i cant wait. the tsm 4 mode programable lock screen and the half circle mute unmute and anwser lock screen were my fav so far.
Yeah it looks like tsm parts will definitely be onboard gc2.0 along with a new toolbox gui. Its shaping up to be a good rom gone great to tide us over until we have aosp.

Yeah mark me down as another waiting gummy 2.0. I am running humble right now but that is onlybeen because I got too lazy to change it. Well that and I keep thinking gb is around the corner... Yeah yeah wishful thinking
Charged up post!

[Q] Any way to get rid of the %*#$ spinning carousel effect on unlock?

The spinning wheel effect when you unlock the phone is really beginning to irritate me. I want to unlock the phone without having to suffer a ~2 second delay waiting to some stupid animation effect to complete. Is there any way to get rid of this outside using a different launcher or are we stuck with this effect?

Not sure with other roms at this point, but coredroid put that option to turn off that sense effect in it's 'tweaks' settings. I have no spinning wheel now
No as it's part of Sense, you'd need to use a different lanucher. And even then I don't know if it'd work
Seems coredroid now has the option to disable it, and so does bulletproof.
And no, there is no way to remove it from those roms and add it to your current one.

Idk what's wrong with you or your phone but its not ~2 seconds. Big deal lol.

i think its really annoying. waste my time and makes me dizzy.
yeah it pretty time wasting to look at. and it chews battery power because the cpu has to work harder to render the animations.
Any ROM that includes the romanbb tweaks will allow you to disable it. Lots to choose from

[Q] TV Power Down Effect

Hi guys,
After flashing the insert coin ROM I had this really cool effect when pushing the power button to lock my phone. The effect was like a tv powering down. However, it has just stopped working. I've re-flashed the insert coin personalisation pack but that hasn't done anything.
Any suggestions as the effect was really slick.
Thanks guys.
Thats called crt effect. I think theres an apk for that. Just try searching the threads.

Ha, I thought crt was developer jargon for some kind of animation. What a douche!
hahaha thats jokes, its been a while since ive seen someone flame himself
you deserve a "thanks" for that!
It was a pleasure. I try not to take myself too seriously!
that will help you A LOT in these forums, just make sure to search or browse a little before asing a question, its usually less of a headache that way
On some roms, going into settings-display and checking disable all window animations will also disable the crt animation.
Could be the reason yours suddenly stopped working.
